20080243674 | System for automated trading of informational items and having integrated ask-and -post features - A hybrid system that supports automated trading of informational items between sellers of such items and buyers who bid on the items includes means for allowing bidders to subscribe to ask-and-post services. A buyer/bidder who subscribes to such services is given the opportunity to be presented with more detailed information about an informational item he or she has bid upon before being obligated to pay for the informational item. If a first asked bidder rejects the item after having been given the opportunity for a sneak peek (or if that first bidder times-out due to no response), then the opportunity is automatically presented to a next subscribing buyer/bidder listed on a dynamically generated list (e.g., a stochastic ordered list). In one class of embodiments, the informational items include lead information for making hot contact with a prospective consumer of predefined products and/or services. | 10-02-2008 |

20120247533 | REFLECTIVE DEVICE FOR A PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULE WITH BIFACIAL CELLS - The invention relates to a reflective device for a photovoltaic module formed by a plurality of bifacial photovoltaic cells or rows of said cells spaced apart from one another, each cell having an active front face and an active rear face that can capture photons from incident light rays falling on the front and rear faces. The device comprises at least one reflective module to be placed under the cells substantially in line with the gap(s) separating two adjacent cells or two rows of adjacent cells. The reflective module comprises: a first portion, of which the surfaces that are oriented towards the gap have a first curvature such as to send all or part of the incident photons towards the rear face of the cells; and a second portion mounted on the first portion, of which the surfaces oriented towards the gap have a second curvature such as to send all or part of the incident photons towards the rear face of the cells, the second curvature being different from the first curvature. | 10-04-2012 |
20130112241 | PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULE COMPRISING AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AND HAVING AN OPTICAL FUNCTION - The invention relates to a photovoltaic module comprising a plurality of photovoltaic cells electrically connected in series via connection means comprising electrical conductors. Each connection means comprises an optical device having a reflection-diffractive or transmission-diffractive optical behaviour, and each connection means consists of a sheet formed from a material transparent to incident rays containing at least one network of electrical conductor wires. | 05-09-2013 |

20110144790 | Thermal Sensing for Material Processing Assemblies - Various embodiments of thermal sensing systems and methods for monitoring thermal conditions in such material processing assemblies are described. The thermal sensing systems include a sensor cable that incorporates or is coupled to one or more thermal sensors. The sensor cable is positioned in the assembly and the thermal sensors provide temperature measurements. In various embodiments, the sensor cable and thermal sensors may be optical or electrical devices. | 06-16-2011 |
20120166107 | Diagnostic System and Method for Metallurgical Reactor Cooling Elements - Aspects of the invention relate generally to diagnostic methods and systems for determining the operating condition and performance of a cooling element in a metallurgical reactor during operation of the reactor. In a system aspect, the system comprises sensing means, processing means and display means. The sensing means is located in or approximate the cooling element for sensing operating conditions of the cooling element. The processing means is in communication with the sensing means for receiving data corresponding to the sensed operating conditions and for processing the data to determine a relative condition indicator of the cooling element. The display means is in communication with the processing means and displays the relative condition indicator to a user of the diagnostic system. The display means can display a first, second or third state representative of the relative health indicator. The first state corresponds to an operational state of the cooling element, in which the cooling element may be operated normally. The second state corresponds to a cautionary operational state of the cooling element, in which the cooling element should be operated under caution. The third state corresponds to a non-operational state of the cooling element, in which the cooling element should cease operation or not initiate operation. | 06-28-2012 |
